B:» and a nationally-known communal leader, said he was most happy to speiid an eveiiing with an orthodox group, in; asmuch as he himself sprang from prtho-f dox ¦ parentage, and has always looked with; a reverent, eye at time-honored tra¬ ditions and ceremonials.

Mr; Kus\yorin also spoke on the ¦ele¬ nient.s; that go to make successful men and fruitful careers, pointing out the necessity of abolishing fear from con¬ sciousness and supplanthig diis destruc¬ tive force with .faith and hope and' self- confidence. He decried the tendency to¬ wards agnosticism and atheisni which ob¬ tains aniong some of our people, declar¬ ing that those who deny the power and presence of Almighty God are as a rule uhbappy .and live useless lives.

He spoke in part as follows :¦, "I am delighted to be here „with you and to give ;yOu a.'word of enconrage- niciit in your meritorious endeavors^ Un der the leadership of your eminent and scholarly rabbi and with the co-opera-^ tion of all these forvyard-looking m^n gathered here, success will inevitably' crown yOnr' efforts.

Mr; Kus\yorin also spoke on the ¦ele¬ nient.s; that go to make successful men and fruitful careers, pointing out the necessity of abolishing fear from con¬ sciousness and supplanthig diis destruc¬ tive force with .faith and hope and' self- confidence. He decried the tendency to¬ wards agnosticism and atheisni which ob¬ tains aniong some of our people, declar¬ ing that those who deny the power and presence of Almighty God are as a rule uhbappy .and live useless lives.
